Matrix clement evaluation

Similarly, the matrix element Hp g, k) can be seen to consist of four terms, and each of the four terms is obtained by decomposing the orbital pi into a and n components for each one of the four neighbors between the n component and the neighboring s orbital the matrix element is zero but between the matrix element is Vsp /V. The 3 . is the coefficient in the decomposition and the sign of the matrix clement depends upon whether the s orbital lies in the direction of the positive or negative lobe of the p orbital. This is sufficient to show how the matrix elements are evaluated. 

The matrix clement can be directly evaluated notice that p > has nonvanishing matrix elements only with the p > on the other hybrid and that the two are antiparallel. The result may be expanded for small 0 and written in the fonn F 2(1 - W ), as in Eq. (8-8). One immediately obtains... 

The evaluation of the orbital correction terms in Eq. (E-7) for a starting LCAO state is perfectly straightforward but becomes intricate if the potentials are handled well. Notice first that the sum in Eq. (E-7) is second order in the orbital correction and that replacing E in the matrix elements by // [ (p> makes only a third-order error in the energy therefore the replacement can be made. Second, when we let H operate on (p> (in either matrix clement) we obtain, as in any LCAO calculation, one term from the kinetic energy and one from the potential associated with the atom upon which the atomic orbital rests, which is just the atomic energy times the same atomic orbital. We then have corrections due to the deviation from that potential.

Absorption effects by the matrix may cause results calculated by liquation 12-7 to be either high or low. If, for example, the matrix contains a significant amount of an element that absorbs either the incident or ihe emitted beam more strongly than Ihe clement being determined. then M, will be low. because f was evaluated...
